UNC earns an A+ from BusinessWeek!
Every two years, BusinessWeek ranks executive MBA programs around the world.
Before I write anything further, I must admit that I’m generally skeptical of b-school rankings. Why, you may ask? I’m skeptical because the average reader of such rankings very rarely takes the time to understand the the factors that drive them. For instance, some rankings are driven by graduates’ salary increases over time. Some rankings are driven by recruiters’ perceptions of graduates they hire. And so on, and so on…
Back to BusinessWeek. One of the things I actually like about this ranking is that the graduates themselves are surveyed and heavily influence the rankings. You can find a full explanation of the methodology here. This year, UNC Kenan-Flagler’s MBA for Executives Program ranked Number 11 in the world. Not too shabby.
But, that’s not what I’m really excited about. What I’m bursting at the seams to share is that BusinessWeek handed UNC Kenan-Flagler’s EMBA Program a perfect report card! We received A+ grades in all categories (that are graded): Teaching, Curriculum and Support. I think it’s worth noting that UNC is the only program with A+ grades in all three categories. Wow! And, this isn’t something I’d generally point out, but take a look at the tuition levels of the programs ranked around us — UNC is a real value.
